Our PLC met today for a working lunch.
The main focus of our discussion was the use of centers in our classrooms. We agreed:
  • Our teachers have ample materials available to create centers.
  • The extra time required to create the centers was a problem for some teachers. Some specialists are helping teachers to put materials together for centers. This additional work might taper off as teachers worked together.
  • Some teachers might like to observe teachers who are successfully using the center approach especially in math and science. Our team will investigate ways to make this happen.
